Where in the world is is Waldo, I mean Warren?

Can we take this game elsewhere in the world besides New England???

Pico.

Here's one:

Hmmm....looks like Wachusett a little bit. How about Crotched? :-?

OK, since Greg wants to put a close on this thread and start a new one, I'm going to offer my guess for this one, Hammer. Is it Ragged? :-?

I really liked Pico. Was it as shopworn as it was during the 2000-2001 season? Nice terrain and few folks. The two express quads are nice...I really like the Birch Glades run off the summit. I also like the furthest trail on skier's right off the top. The lower triple, where the original T-bar used to be, serves some real gnarly stuff as well! And who can forget Outpost? Like a mini-Mad River Glen over there!! I really am considering getting an ASC pass so I can ski Pico again...

Nope. It's in the same state, though...

Truthfully I have not skied at Pico since January 2003, and my last experience there was less than pleasant, with poor quality snow, thin base depths and I had to fight with the ticket office for a voucher :angry:

I skied the place ALOT in the 80's and 90's, and it is a great mountain that is unfortunately located in Killington's shadow. I remember some great powder days on 49er and Pike and in Birches Glade. I will never forget riding the summit poma, I thought that lift was going to kill me it was so steep.

Now that I have the bronze pass, I hope to ski there next year. The ski season is MUCH shorter under ASC though.

Argh. How about Gunstock?

Yeah, I've heard stories about the old Poma. Is it as steep as Burke's though?

I wish that they'd run it like the great mtn it used to be.

So you didn't ski there in April?

That's right, it's Gunstock. I took the picture from the top of the novice area when I went during the Christmas holiday week.

No we did not get to ski at Pico as they closed on March 27th. My son was kind of perplexed by the fact that the ski area was closed with so much snow. I guess he gets that feeling from his father :wink:

I can never figure it out either. Offer cheap tickets and get the folks up to ski...
